jinvo consented to such a step,
Cut with tho cooperation of tho teach
era and friends of education in our
county, wo hope to make it a success.
rWo'-'earnestly desire' to render this
\ho most interesting column of the
paper, but we can do no only by the
assistance of nil the teachers. We,
therefore, iuvite short and spicy com
Vninieations, and discussions of ques
tions appertaining to Our profession.
Wo shall exert our cirorts to give
Uiat elevation and prominence to our
calling which its importance demands ;

?profit to olhWs. ;Lot us have these
views. Let us disseminate the seeds
of mental uud moral culture among
the youth'of our land, that our couii
'try may go on lo a gloribds future
'and .posterity deljght .toilless our
name. <\Ve do not deeih it necessary
to give the color of our politics. It
'makes no difference whether. Wo arc
?Radical, . ^Deurocrdl, "-Republican,
Whig, Federal, or Greenback, just so
we lp|l you the truth und stick lo it.
1 Wo expect to advocate the educa
tion of the entire Democracy of the
people ns the surest cure for our pres
ent ills. We expect to speak our
?mind freely and fearlessly on all sub
[jects that claim our attention, Mr.
Croaker's opinion to the contrary,
notwithstanding. Wo hopo to show
that ignorance Is the prolific mother
of crime and immorality, and that
?this country w?l totter and full when
intellectual and moral education is
denied this people.
